Reliable leaker contradicts Moore's Law Is Dead's Nvidia RTX 6090 release date

A few days ago, Moore’s Law Is Dead leaked that Nvidia was planning to kickstart the launch of the next-gen GeForce RTX 60 series GPUs in H1 2027. Utilizing the Rubin GPU architecture, MLID claimed that “milestones leading up to a 2027 launch” were put in place months ago. So, the leaker alleged that the RTX 6090 release date could fall sometime in H1 2027. This rumor caused quite a stir online, and kopite7kimi has now sounded off on the subject.

kopite7kimi reports on X that, while they hope “Jensen can see everyone's passion and launch new products for gaming as soon as possible”, the GR20X Rubin gaming GPUs won’t be here until 2028. The GR20X is a “2028 product” as Nvidia has delayed the launch once again, per kopite7kimi.

This directly contradicts MLID’s report which alleged that people assuming a 2028 RTX 60 series launch are “just WRONG”. MLID’s Nvidia source claimed that the RTX 6090 was originally targeting 2026 but was delayed to allow Nvidia to use as much TSMC capacity as possible for AI chips.

Many leakers opposed MLID’s RTX 6090 release date leak, including Jukan who calls the rumor ridiculous and suggests that there is “no way Rubin gaming GPUs are coming out that soon”.

Looking at the current state of the consumer tech market, we don’t see much hope of an H1 2027 RTX 60 series launch. DRAM and storage price are still sky high and the situation is unlikely to resolve in the near term. We don’t think Nvidia is stupid enough to launch new GPUs in a market where gamers can’t upgrade within a reasonable budget. We could be wrong though. So, all we can do is wait and watch.
